Minors in bar, noise, result in tickets for 26th St. establishment
May 17, 2008, 1::16 AM
A police sergeant patrolling across the street from Berwyn’s city hall heard loud music coming out of El Pescador restaurant, 6713 26th. Two more officers joined him; they saw males and females, who looked underage, attempting to leave. Police learned they were 17-year-olds. Officers spoke with a DJ, Evangelina Davis, 32, of Chicago. After turning down the volume at police request, Davis stated she was contracted by “Club Dulce"*** for an event for people under age 21. When police asked where “Club Dulce” was, she said, “This place”. The sergeant spoke with owner Leticia Montano, 24, of Cicero, and advised her of calls complaining of noise. She was cited for the noise violation, having minors present in a dram shop*, and for hosting an event for minors where alcohol is served.**
